a Haunted House.

Extract from Pliny. translated by Miss Laurs
Gary.l
There was house in Athens, spa.
cious and rOomy, but infamous and
haunted through the silence of the
night, there was a sound of irons,
and, if you would listen more closely,
a rafting of chains, longer at first,
then reverberated presently there APP
peared ghost, All old man, reduced
by emaciation and mourning, with
long beard and bristling:hair; on his
legs and hands he wore chains, and
he shook the letters.
Then on account of fear, watch
was kept by the Inhabitants all
through the sad and dreadful nights,
disease followed the watching and
by increased dread, death followed,
for in the day time also, although the
image disappeared, the memory of
the image wandered before the
eyes, and was a longer cause for fear.
The house, deserted aud condemned,
was left alone, and the whole place
given up to the ghost, however, II
was advertised, If any one wished
either 10 buy or to rent, being igno-
rant of such great evil. There
came TO Athens philosopher, Athen-
odorus, he read the advertisement,
and hearing the price, suspected
something, on account OF its cheap
ness, upon inquiry all things are told
to him. Not the less, but so much
the more, he rented it.
When 1t began to grow late he
ordered couuh to be spread in the
front part of the house, he then de-
manded his note books, style, and |
light and dismissed all of his COM
panions into the inner rooms. He
devoted his mind, hands, aud eyes to
writing, nor did vacant mind hear
and unreal sounds, aud |
form fear for himself.
AT first there wac silence every
where, as at night, then irons ratlled,
and chains moved. lie did not raise
his eyes, nor relax his style, but
his mind and closed his
ears. Then the noise increased, ads

The First Turnpike.
ALL THE YEAR ROUND.

ALL THE YEAR ROUND.
In the time OF Charles III. restric-
tons were laid on the weight of car
riages and their contents by limiting
the number of cattle by which they
might be drawn; power was given to
raise an assessment for the repairs
of the roads, and the plan of impos-
ing tolls began to be adopted.
From this time we begin to hear of
turnpikes, and as time went on turn
pike acts were passed and turnpike
roads began TO be talked about.
With increased traffic and better
roads the stage wagon replaced the
packhorse in the conveyance of mer-
charlottesville huge tilted wagon
that survived till railway times. with
its six or eight sleek horses, the smart
WAGNER riding his cob by the side of
1t, flourishing his long cartwhip, as
the road wound through unduiating
ground with cornfields and pastures,
still mostly unenclosed, and by-ways
branching Off with way posts, at tile
junction pointing to some village
whose spire shows over the hillside.
In the year 1857 the system of COL
lecting tolls was extended to the great
roads in all directions, and the Gus
tomary statute labor was appropriate
ed entirely TO the cross or country
roads. This date marks the begin
ming of the era of stage coaches, and
the full development ofan organized
system of posting from stage TO stage
along the public roads.
From this time The roads of Eng
land began to rouse the wonder and
envy of other nations. In France
especially, just before the revolution
airy era, the roads were execrable, and |
the few public conveyances clumsy |
and badly horsed. Everything had |
to give way to equipages ofthe grand |
seigneurs, and the starving peasantry |
were dragged from their sloppy fields |
TO draw the gilded coach of the mar
quis or count out of the quagmires Of
The public road. !
